Homogenising pig growth – Lance Mulberry

Consulting economist Lance Mulberry is based in Missouri, USA. He shares his opinion about the pig industry’s tendency to focus on average to evaluate on-farm economic performance. He will address problems related to that tendency: it ignores variation and suggests that the underlying distribution is a normal. That way using averages will result in hidden costs, having many implications for the industry. His plea is to apply a more precision based approach.
